T!M really shouldn't be criticized if he doesn't use the CLT notes, as they are not a requirement. If people choose to put the numbers in their notes, fine, but if they don't, that's fine too. IIRC, Ken has stated that you don't need to put them in the notes, so if T!M (or anyone) chooses not too, he is doing nothing wrong.

If I don't trust someone's notes regarding the CLT, it takes a second for me to double check them (it's very rare when I don't trust the submitter, anyway). If they don't want to put the results in the notes, who really cares, they aren't required to. It's a bonus if they do.

Skip, I certainly hope you are not voting at all on profiles that don't have CLT results, because if the data is correct, any vote other than a yes is an abuse of the system IMO.

I consider failure to list CLT results to be a violation of The Rules, as claiming that you did is neither complete nor are they useful notes. If you won't i will ALWAYS vote NO. Such lame documentation is simply unacceptable when the data is so available and easy to enter.

How is this not a violation of the rules when Ken has said that posting the CLT results is not necessary?

And you know full well that you are wrong, that it is not required, and that your repeated no-votes are invalid

(I thought I'd use some bold, too)

We are not going to continue to hash this out. If a user chooses to submit without specific CLT results, they may do so and their contribution may still be accepted depending on a variety of factors, including contribution history.

Voting users may choose to request further details and a "No" vote if the details aren't provided is not an abuse of the voting system. 

Further discussion on this will only lead to argument.

Invalid to you, maybe, Tim, NOT to me.

As I said I find them insulting and offensive and i am disappointed that Ken actually is willing to support notes which are not complete and useful, let alone informative. But it is his choice and he has allowed me mine.

Makes me glad I chose to skip to the last page.  Thanks Ken.

Sorry Ken, I'm a little confused by this. On one hand you say that people don't have to provide the CLT figures but on the other hand, people can vote "No". This seems a little contradictory to me.

Thanks for stepping in so quick, Ken.

There are things I don't understand, but I thank you for making a presence regardless*. 


*That sounds jerky, but not intended as such. I don't understand part of your decision, but rather than
dwell on it, I'll work it out or send you a PM.


*edit*

Orrrrrrrrr I'll just wait and see how forget's question is answered, as that's the question I had.

Kind of hard to do when you don't have the disc in your hand in the first place and only have them in your ordered/wishlist tag just to use the CLT for all the locality...

I'm not really fond of the idea of people contributing profile updates, or voting on such updates, if they don't actually own the item being contributed.  I think it's a bit of an abuse of the system to have lots of DVDs only in your wishlist and contribute (or vote on) them, as if you knew what was and what was not correct about such contributions.

Well, Alien I would ask a similar question. How is" I checked the CLT", complete and useful notes as spelled out in the Rules. it is absolutely not to me. To me it is no form of documentation at all. But i accept Ken's comment as is.

Oh, I absolutely disagree, there are many parts of any given Contribution which are easy to verify without having the disc in hand. Take for example the overview, for just one example.

One may not be able to verify Cast/Crew data, but one can certainly ask questions and challenge undocumented  Common name usage or whther or not NameA=NameB (another pet peeve).
